What Causes Candida Infections and Why you need FLORACOR-GI

What Causes Candida Infections?

What Causes Candida Infections?

There are many possible causes of candida including a diet high in
sugar, refined carbohydrates and alcohol that help yeast to grow.

1. Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics

Sometimes, antibiotics are needed to fight a stubborn infection to
kill the offending bacteria in your system. The problem with antibiotics
and with overusing them (often creating antibiotic resistance) is that they don’t just kill the bad bacteria; they kill the good ones, too.

The good bacteria in your system are responsible for digestion and
keeping candida under control. After a long course (or multiple courses
over a short period), antibiotics can make your body a literal breeding
ground for candida.

2. Birth Control Pills

Unlike antibiotics, birth control pills in and of themselves do not
directly cause a yeast infection or candida overgrowth syndrome.
However, when a woman consumes a diet high in refined sugars and has
had a course of antibiotics, birth control pills can adversely affect
her body, leading to a candida infection.

Some women find that birth control pills seam to instigate yeast
infections — and even long after the initial infection is gone, once
they start taking the birth control pills again, candida can take root.

3. Oral Corticosteroids

Individuals that treat their asthma with corticosteroid inhalants are
at an increased risk of developing candida in the mouth, leading to
systemic candida overgrowth. It is imperative that individuals using corticosteroid inhalers for
asthma follow the directions for swishing the mouth out after each use.
If oral candidiasis is detected, can be treated with the gargling of
coconut oil and a drop or two of essential clove oil.

4. Cancer Treatments

According to the Department of Clinical Research at Merck Research
Laboratories, candidiasis can become invasive in cancer patients and
prevent a serious complication.
In this study, one-third of patients being treated for cancer had
“invasive” candidiasis. Chemotherapy and radiation can both work to kill
cancerous cells and tumors; however, they also kill off the healthy
bacteria that naturally fight candida.

5. Diabetes

In a Type 1 or a Type 2 diabetic, sugar levels in the mouth and other
mucous membranes are traditionally higher than in an individual without
diabetes. Since candida is a type of yeast and sugar feeds yeast, it is
understandable that those with diabetes are at a greater risk for
developing candida overgrowth syndrome.

6. Weakened Immune System

Any individual with a weakened immune system is more likely to
develop candida. This population includes infants, small children, the
elderly, those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
